What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder associated with psychological burdens, including sadness and suicidality. Yet, little is known about long-term trends in these mental health outcomes among adolescents with AD. This study examined temporal trends in suicidal ideation and sadness in South Korean adolescents with and without AD.
methodsNationwide data from the Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, comprising middle and high school adolescents, were utilized, covering the period from 2007 to 2024. Weighted prevalence estimates were calculated to evaluate trends of questionnaire-based suicidal ideation and sadness by AD status. To examine the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the study period was categorized into three periods, including pre-pandemic (2007-2019), intra-pandemic (2020-2022), and post-pandemic (2023-2024). For analyzing the β coefficients and β differences (β
resultsAmong 1,140,402 adolescents (553,213 [48.51%] female), those with AD reported a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation (17.51% [95% CI: 17.32-17.70]) and sadness (33.11% [32.88-33.34]) compared to those without AD. Weighted prevalence rates showed an increase during the intra-pandemic period, both in suicidal ideation (β
conclusionThis is the first comprehensive study to display the association of AD with suicidal ideation and sadness in Korean adolescents. Our findings can provide insights into identifying vulnerable populations and seek to guide the public health strategies for minimizing disparities in the mental health burdens of AD.
